In partnership with both Mount Royal University and Calgary Public Library, this year's fall Holocaust Education Symposium – Virtual will run as follows: November 14 to 18, 2021 Between November 14 and 18, teachers will receive special access to view: • An introduction video by MRU professor, Scott Murray • Access to the film, A Path to Nazi Genocide These pre-recorded presentations may be viewed by educators and their students at any time during the week.

November 19, 2021

On Friday, November 19 from 10:30am to 12:00pm, educators and their students are invited to watch a special presentation with Holocaust Survivor, Fanny Wedro. This will be followed by a live Q&A with Mrs. Wedro.  Anyone unable to join in for this powerful session will be granted access to watch it at a later date.

Study of the Holocaust underlines that genocide is a process which can be challenged or perhaps stopped rather than a spontaneous or inevitable event. The Holocaust demonstrated how a nation can utilize its bureaucratic structures, processes, and technical expertise while enlisting multiple segments of society to implement policies over time ranging from exclusion and discrimination to genocide. For those interested in award winning, easy to follow curriculum and lesson plans on the Holocaust, we invite you to visit Echos and Reflections.
